An angled aroace is a person that is both ace-spec and aro-spec who experiences a form of attraction. This attraction is can be tertiary attraction or sexual/romantic attraction. For example, someone who is demisexual, demiromantic, panalterous, would be angled aroace, based on experiencing a form of non-romantic, non-sexual attraction that is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation. As another example, someone who aromantic, greyasexual, bisexual would also be considered angled aroace due to specifying their sexual attraction, while still being ace-spec.
The term angled aroace is similar to oriented aroace (which is a term that generally only indicates aroaces with tertiary attraction), and it was created by Tumblr user Black-Aros on March 24, 2019 in response to claims that oriented aroace is only for certain aromantic asexuals.[1][2]
Flag
The angled aroace flag was posted by Black-Aros on March 24, 2019, shortly after announcing the term.[3] The yellow stripes were chosen as an opposite of the blue of the oriented flag. The light brown gradient beneath them meant as a visually-appropriate parallel to the gray gradient of the aromantic and asexual flags.
